I’m just back from Scottsdale attending an auto auction. I collect 60’s muscle cars. My 18 year old grandson, who happens to be a decent WR at Dunedin high, but full of testosterone was house sitting for me as my wife accompanied me on this trip. The first thing in noticed was the websites on my history that I would never visit.

As I began too catch up on my Buc news I came across posts that he decided to make. He acknowledges the posts and says he meant no harm. It’s what all of his friends do. I don’t think he meant any harm. So I apologize if anybody was upset.

Excuse me while I go see what other damage he may have done to my image! Try to have a nice day!

You might be right. What I don’t understand is that I remember Macabee from the old TBO or St. Pete Times comments section (I posted either as Brandon or Brasho, I don’t remember)… he was always a solid individual. Those criticisms seemed uncharacteristic of him.

Your not doing anything different than anyone else trying to provide football knowledge to the JBF Fam. I don’t recall you being a poster who stacks those who debate your points so yea dot sweat it. Some people for some reason can’t stand others providing more input than what they can offer.

I had no problem with what Brandon said. Actually i appreciate the info

Thank you. I’m still not sure what I could have possibly done to deserve criticism.

Nobody questions your passion or your self-proclaimed knowledge of the game. But your own words validate my response. Reread your response. It’s not about the Bucs, It’s about you! You were first, you are far more knowledgeable. Those are self proclamations that’s meant to promote your own place in the world of experts sent by the gods to enlighten us.

Listen, I have no reason to single you out, you are doing a good job of that yourself. Nobody needs a website monitor to tell us when we’re right or wrong. Joe already has that job!

So be a passionate fan and state your opinions and leave others to enjoy the same privilege that you have – freedom of expression without expert criticism, even self-proclaimed expertise!

+++++++++++++++++++++++

I don’t think I need to re-read anything. Why don’t you re-read what you wrote to me and tell me why I made my response about me. You told me I have no idea what I’m talking about. As for the tryout players, I clearly prefaced that with the paragraph that stated:

I have a feeling that the extra players listed previously are coming to Tampa at the end of the week as tryout players:

What about that statement followed by listing the following players in any way shows I don’t have my facts straight?

Everthing you said in your last paragraph completely contradicted what you said in your previous statement.

I spent the time and effort in putting the list together. I didn’t bang my chest and proclaim myself to be the all-knowing God of football. I did it as a service to my fellow Buc fans so they could be better informed of some of the players we brought in. You have a problem with that, that’s on you, not me. What kind of person criticizes another when that other person is simply trying to help others be more informed, and doing it for free? Look at yourself in the mirror before you decide to criticize in the future because it sure seems apparent that the person you have a problem with is you.

Tighten it up, pal. You’ve no idea what you’re talking about, just a lot of wasted ink. The Bucs have only signed 13 UDFAs that will attend rookie mini-camp this weekend. Joe dutifully listed them for you above. The rest of the list of wannabes are player who may be allowed to try out for contracts. If you’re going to speak as an expert, then get your facts together!

++++++++++++++++++++

Really? I have no idea what I’m talking about? The names I got were the same ones on NEPatriotsdraft.com and then posted AFTER mine on bucsnation.com. According to verified twitter accounts, the above mentioned players agreed to take part this weekend. Some of them are on try-outs. Do they not at least deserve the 5 minutes it took to do some research on them? I think Leonard Johnson feels they do.

FYI, I’m not speaking as an expert, but surely I am far more knowledgeable than most on here. I speak as a passionate fan, a passionate fan that doesn’t mind doing extra leg work for other passionate fans, or even the ungrateful trolls that have attacked me for my passion. Whatever, get over it.

Brandon… you shouldn’t be copy and pasting without providing your internet source that you stole that from. Unless that is, you scouted these guys ALL on your own.
+++++++++++++++

The numbers were taken from the player’s Pro Days or Combine. All comments and analysis is purely by me. Tell you what, I’m a teacher and an expert and catching plagiarists. All you have to do to catch a plagiarist is to take an excerpt of any questionable material, wrap it in quotes, put it through a Google search. I can assure you that NONE of my information was stolen. The only thing tha will come up if you do as I say is the same information that I posted on Draftcountdown.com under the username “Brasho”.

If you paraphrase or copy and paste you need to acknowledge proper references. Just saying and go Bucs.

Tue, 30 Apr 2013 02:55:09 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=87747#comment-3241417I think some of their undrafted free agents are better than a couple of the players they drafted. The back half of the Bucs draft was very weak.
